The Delicate Socks are an anklet sock, knit top down in one continuous construction method, with an optional fold-over ruffled cuff and a lace panel.

Originally featured in KnitPicks Electric Slide sock collection, the ruffle version has a folded cuff. The cuff includes a hidden rib panel for a close fit under the stockinette outer cuff.

Delicate Socks are engaging and feature interesting techniques that are a total joy to knit.

Now updated to make the ruffle optional, it comes in a plain practical crew sock as well!
